...south of France, while his wife stayed behind in Bonn. Accompanying Brandt was Seebacher, an ardent SPD activist who had written speeches for him and acted as his appointments secretary until his illness. At the French clinic where Brandt was recuperating, she helped him to stop smoking and to limit his drinking to one glass of wine a day. When Brandt reappeared in West Germany two weeks ago, looking more fit and cheerful, he told friends he intended to marry Seebacher. Said he: "I am determined to live as I want for the few years ahead...
...matters stand now. Though most U.S. gasoline stations still have enough fuel on hand to meet the demands, oil company deliveries are rapidly being pared back to stretch dwindling inventories. Exxon's supplies are becoming so tight that last week the company had to impose an $8 limit on gas purchases at its stations along the heavily traveled New Jersey Turnpike. Exxon also said it would not renew crude-oil supply contracts with other companies, a step that is going to make it harder for the firms that have been cut off to meet their own commitments...
...soften some of the criticism that helped kill the legislation last year, the Administration has vastly modified this session's bill. Last year's plan would have clamped a limit of 9% on the annual increase in revenues that hospitals could receive from bed patients.

For two companies-Chrysler and American Motors-the struggle could become a matter of survival. All the manufacturers are straining their technical, financial and managerial resources to the limit in an upheaval that will be felt at many levels of business and to one degree or another will touch the lives of almost all Americans. Says Chrysler Chairman John Riccardo: "In the next six years the industry faces a total revolution...
Here, too, Washington regulators are putting up roadblocks even though, ironically, the diesel meets all present emission standards. Unlike conventional engines, diesels give off tiny specks of soot known as particulates. In January the Environmental Protection Agency proposed that a limit on diesel particulates be set at 0.2 grams per mile (g.p.m.). The diesel on GM's 350 Oldsmobile now throws off 0.8 g.p.m., and nobody in Detroit knows how to reduce that level in full-size cars without losing power. The agency announced that it will set a final standard later this year after hearing from the auto...
